are well-known and potent antibacterial agents, used widely to treat and prevent bacterial infection. As with other antibacterial agents, however, bacterial strains having resistance or insufficient susceptibility to erythromycin have been identified. Also, erythromycin A has only weak activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, there is a continuing need to identify new erythromycin derivative compounds which possess improved antibacterial activity, which have less potential for developing resistance, which possess the desired Gram-negative activity, or which possess unexpected selectivity against target microorganisms. Consequently, numerous investigators have prepared chemical derivatives of erythromycin in an attempt to obtain analogs having modified or improved profiles of antibiotic activity.

Antibacterial Activity

Representative compounds of the present invention were assayed in vitro for antibacterial activity as follows: Twelve petri dishes containing successive aqueous dilutions of the test compound mixed with 10 mL of sterilized Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) agar (Difco 0418-01-5) were prepared. Each plate was inoculated with 1:100 (or 1:10 for slow-growing strains, such as Micrococcus and Streptococcus) dilutions of up to 32 different microorganisms, using a Steers replicator block. The inoculated plates were incubated at 35-37° C. for 20 to 24 hours. In addition, a control plate, using BHI agar containing no test compound, was prepared and incubated at the beginning and end of each test.

An additional plate containing a compound having known susceptibility patterns for the organisms being tested and belonging to the same antibiotic class as the test compound was also prepared and incubated as a further control, as well as to provide test-to-test comparability. Erythromycin A was used for this purpose.

After incubation, each plate was visually inspected. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was defined as the lowest concentration of drug yielding no growth, a slight haze, or sparsely isolated colonies on the inoculum spot as compared to the growth control. The results of this assay, shown below in Table 2 demonstrate the antibacterial activity of the compounds of the invention.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention formulated together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" means a non-toxic, inert solid, semi-solid or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil; safflower oil; sesame oil; olive oil; corn oil and soybean oil; glycols; such a propylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgment of the formulator. The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, or as an oral or nasal spray.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.

In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides) Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.

Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, pastes creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, eyd ns are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.

The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to an active compound of this invention, excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.

Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to the compounds of this invention, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons.

Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.

According to the methods of treatment of the present invention, bacterial infections are treated or prevented in a patient such as a human or lower mammal by administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention, in such amounts and for such time as is necessary to achieve the desired result. By a "therapeutically effective amount" of a compound of the invention is meant a sufficient amount of the compound to treat bacterial infections, at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgement. The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed; and like factors well known in the medical arts.

The total daily dose of the compounds of this invention administered to a human or other mammal in single or in divided doses can be in amounts, for example, from 0.01 to 50 mg/kg body weight or more usually from 0.1 to 25 mg/kg body weight. Single dose compositions may contain such amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose. In general, treatment regimens according to the present invention comprise administration to a patient in need of such treatment from about 10 mg to about 2000 mg of the compound(s) of this invention per day in single or multiple doses.

Synthetic Methods

The compounds and processes of the present invention will be better understood in connection with the following synthetic schemes I-VI (to be found following the text describing the schemes) which illustrate the methods by which the compounds of the invention may be prepared. The compounds of the present invention are prepared by the representative methods described below. The groups A, B, D, E, W, X, Y, Z, R^(a), R^(b), R^(c), and R^(d) are as defined above unless otherwise noted below.

The preparation of the compounds of the invention of formula VIII from erythromycin A is outlined in Schemes Ia and Ib. The preparation of protected erythromycin A is described in the following United States patents, U.S. Pat. No. 4,990,602; U.S. Pat. No. 4,331,803, U.S. Pat. No. 4,680,368, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,670,549 which are incorporated by reference. Also incorporated by reference is European Patent Application EP 260,938. In general, the C-9-carbonyl group of compound 1 is protected as an oxime, (V is ═N--O--R³ or ═N--O--C(R⁸)(R⁹)--O--R³ where R³ is defined above and R⁸ and R⁹ are each independently selected from the group consisting of (a) hydrogen, (b) unsubstituted C₁ -C₁₂ -alkyl, (c) C₁ -C₁₂ -alkyl substituted with aryl, and (d) C₁ -C₁₂ -alkyl substituted with substituted aryl, or R⁹ and R¹⁰ taken together with the carbon to which they are attached form a C₃ -C₁₂ -cycloalkyl ring). An especially preferred carbonyl protecting group V is O-(1-isopropoxycyclohexyl)oxime.

The 2'- and 4"-hydroxy groups of 2 are protected by reaction with a suitable hydroxy protecting reagent, such as those described by T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd ed., John Wiley & Son, Inc., 1991, which is incorporated by reference. Hydroxy protecting groups include, for example, acetic anhydride, benzoic anhydride, benzyl chloroformate, hexamethyldisilazane, or a trialkylsilyl chloride in an aprotic solvent. Examples of aprotic solvents are dichloromethane, chloroform, DMF, tetrahydrofuran (THF), N-methyl pyrrolidinone, dimethylsulfoxide, diethylsulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, hexamethylphosphoric triamide, a mixture thereof or a mixture of one of these solvents with ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, acetone and the like. Aprotic solvents do not adversely affect the reaction, and are preferably dichloromethane, chloroform, DMF, tetrahydrofuran (THF), N-methyl pyrrolidinone or a mixture thereof. Protection of 2'- and 4"-hydroxy groups of 2 may be accomplished sequentially or simultaneously to provide compound 3 where R^(p) is a hydroxy protecting group. A preferred protecting group R^(p) is trimethylsilyl.

The 6-hydroxy group of compound 3 is then alkylated by reaction with an alkylating agent in the presence of base to give compound 4. Alkylating agents include alkyl chlorides, bromides, iodides or alkyl sulfonates. Specific examples of alkylating agents include allyl bromide, propargyl bromide, benzyl bromide, 2-fluoroethyl bromide, 4-nitrobenzyl bromide, 4-chlorobenzyl bromide, 4-methoxybenzyl bromide, α-bromo-p-tolunitrile, cinnamyl bromide, methyl 4-bromocrotonate, crotyl bromide, 1-bromo-2-pentene, 3-bromo-1-propenyl phenyl sulfone, 3-bromo-1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne, 3-bromo-2-octyne, 1-bromo-2-butyne, 2-picolyl chloride, 3-picolyl chloride, 4-picolyl chloride, 4-bromomethyl quinoline, bromoacetonitrile, epichlorohydrin, bromofluoromethane, bromonitromethane, methyl bromoacetate, methoxymethyl chloride, bromoacetamide, 2-bromoacetophenone, 1-bromo-2-butanone, bromo chloromethane, bromomethyl phenyl sulfone, 1,3-dibromo-1-propene, and the like. Examples of alkyl sulfonates are: allyl O-tosylate, 3-phenylpropyl-O-trifluoromethane sulfonate, n-butyl-O-methanesulfonate and the like. Examples of the solvents used are aprotic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide, diethylsulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphoric triamide, a mixture thereof or a mixture of one of these solvents with ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, acetone and the like. Examples of the base which can be used include potassium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide, tetraalkylammonium hydroxide, sodium hydride, potassium hydride, potassium isopropoxide, potassium tert-butoxide, potassium isobutoxide and the like.

The deprotection of the 2'- and 4"-hydroxyl groups is then carried out according to methods described in literature, for example, by T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd ed. John Wiley & Son, Inc., 1991, which is incorporated herein by reference. The conditions used for the deprotection of the 2'- and 4"-hydroxyl groups usually results in the conversion of X to ═N--OH. (For example, using acetic acid in acetonitrile and water results in the deprotection of the 2'- and 4"-hydroxyl groups and the conversion of X from ═N--O--R³ or ═N--O--C(R⁸)(R⁹)--O--R³ where R³, R⁸ and R⁹ are as defined above to ═N--OH.) If this is not the case, the conversion is carried out in a separate step.

The deoximation reaction can be carried out according to the methods described in the literature, for example by Greene (op. cit.) and others. Examples of the deoximating agent are inorganic sulfur oxide compounds such as sodium hydrogen sulfite, sodium pyrosulfate, sodium thiosulfate, sodium sulfate, sodium sulfite, sodium hydrosulfite, sodium metabisulfite, sodium dithionate, potassium thiosulfate, potassium metabisulfite and the like. Examples of the solvents used are protic solvents such as water, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, trimethylsilanol or a mixture of one or more of the mentioned solvents and the like. The deoximation reaction is more conveniently carried out in the presence of an organic acid such as formic acid, acetic acid and triifluoroacetic acid.

The conversion of the 6-substituted erythromycin derivative to the 6-substituted ketolide is described in scheme 1b. The cladinose moiety of macrolide 6 is removed either by mild aqueous acid hydrolysis or by enzymatic hydrolysis to give 7. Representative acids include dilute hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, perchloric acid, chloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid. Suitable solvents for the reaction include methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol and the like. Reaction times are typically 0.5 to 24 hours. The reaction temperature is preferably -10 to 35° C. The 2'-hydroxy group of 7 is protected using a suitable hydroxy protecting reagent such as acetic anhydride, benzoyl anhydride, benzyl chloroformate or trialkylsilyl chloride in an aprotic solvent, as defined above, preferably dichloromethane, chloroform, DMF, tetrahydrofuran (THF), N-methyl pyrrolidinone or a mixture thereof. A particularly preferred protecting group R^(p) is benzoate. It is possible to reverse the order of the steps for removing the cladinose and protecting the hydroxy groups without affecting the yield of the process.

The 3-hydroxy group of 8 is oxidized to the ketone 9 using a modified Swern oxidation procedure. Suitable oxidizing agents are N-chlorosuccinimide-dimethyl sulfide or carbodiimide-dimethylsulfoxide. In a typical example, 8 is added into a pre-formed N-chlorosuccinimide and dimethyl sulfide complex in a chlorinated solvent such as methylene chloride at -10 to 25° C. After being stirred for 0.54 hours, a tertiary amine such as triethylamine or Hunig's base is added to produce the corresponding ketone. The 2' hydroxy protecting group of 9 is then removed by standard methods to give the desired ketolide VIII. When R^(p) is an ester such as acetate or benzoate, the compound may be deprotected by treatment with methanol or ethanol. When R^(p) is a trialkylsilyl group, the compound may be deprotected by treatment with fluoride in THF or acetonitrile.

Alternatively, compounds wherein R¹ is other than H may be prepared by initial formation of the unsubstituted oxime as described above followed by reaction with R¹ X' wherein X' is a suitable leaving group such as halogen.

The preparation of the compounds of this invention of formula (IX) wherein L is CO and T is --NH-- or --N(W--R^(d))-- is outlined in Schemes 1c and 4. According to Scheme 1c, the 6-O-substituted compound 6 is first protected with a suitable hydroxy protecting group to give compound 6A, by the procedures referenced above. Compound 6A is then treated with sodium hexamethyldisilazide and carbonyldiimidazole to give compound 6B. In particular, treatment of compound 6B, with aqueous ammonia results in formation of the cyclic carbamate 6C wherein R^(e) is H. Likewise, reaction of compound 6B with an amino compound of the formula H₂ N--W--R^(d) results in formation of the cyclic carbamate in which R^(e) is --W--R^(d).

Alternate or additional procedures may be used to prepare compounds of formula (IX) wherein L is CO and T is --N(W--R^(d))--. For example, treatment of a compound 6C wherein R^(e) is H with an alkylating agent having the formula R^(d) -halogen, wherein R^(d) is as defined previously, gives a compound 6C wherein R^(e) is W--R^(d), W is absent and R^(d) is as defined previously.

W is absent and R^(d) is as defined.

Reaction of compound 6B with a hydroxylamine compound of the formula H₂ N--O--R^(d) results in formation of the cyclic carbamate in which R^(e) is --O--R^(d).

Removal of the cladinose moiety by acid hydrolysis as described previously gives the compound 6D wherein Z' is H. Compound 6D is then oxidized to 6E by the modified Swern oxidation procedure described for Scheme 1b above for converting compound 8 to ketone 9.

Deprotection of the 2'-hydroxy group as described above provides the desired ketolide IX.

According to the alternate procedure shown in Scheme 1d, the compound 2A, which is the 9-oxime compound of erythromycin A, is subjected to acid hydrolysis with dilute mineral or organic acid as described previously to remove the cladinose moiety and give compound 7A. The oxime compound 7A is then converted to the protected oxime compound 7B wherein V is ═N--O--R¹ (shown) or ═N--O--C(R⁵)(R⁶)--O--R¹ where R¹, R⁵ and R⁶ are as defined previously, by reaction with the appropriately substituted oxime protecting reagent. The 3 and 2'-hydroxy groups of 7B are then protected as described previously, preferably with a trimethylsilyl protecting group, to give compound 7C. Compound 7C is then alkylated as described previously for Scheme 1a to give compound 7D and compound 7D is first deoximated as described above for Scheme 1a then the deoximated product is converted to the compound 7E by the procedures described for preparation of compound 6C from compound 6A in Scheme 1c. Compound 7E is then deprotected and oxidized to the 3-ketolide derivative compound of formula IX, wherein X is O, L is CO and T is --NH-- or --N(W--R^(d))-- by procedures described previously. ##STR39##

Compound 12 may also be prepared by reaction of diol 9, or cyclic carbonate 10, prepared as described in Scheme 2 above, by reaction with carbonyldiimidazole and sodium or lithium hydride under similar conditions. Compound 12 is then reacted with diamine 13 having substituents A, B, D and E as defined above, in a suitable solvent such as aqueous acetonitrile, DMF or aqueous DMF, to give the bicyclic compound 14. Compound 14 is then cyclized by treatment with dilute acid, such as acetic acid or HCl in a suitable organic solvent such as ethanol or propanol and deprotected as described above to give the tricyclic ketolide VII. Alternatively, the 2'-protecting group of the bicyclic ketolide 14 may be removed prior to cyclization using the methods described in Scheme 1. Compounds of formula IV or VII may be reduced to compounds of formula IV-A by treatment with a reducing agent selected from hydrogen in the presence of palladium catalyst, alkyl borohydride and lithium aluminum hydride in a suitable organic solvent Scheme 3b illustrates an alternative preparation of compounds of formula VII.

Alternatively, the hydroxy group in 16 may be activated by treatment with sulfonyl chloride, alkyl or aryl sulfonic anhydride or trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride in an aprotic solvent. The activated hydroxy group is then converted to the corresponding azide by reaction with lithium azide or sodium azide in an aprotic solvent. The 2'-protecting group is then removed as described above, and the azide is reduced to the amine 17. Suitable reducing reagents are triphenylphosphine-water, hydrogen with a catalyst, sodium borohydride, or dialkylaluminum hydride in the appropriate solvent for these reactions, as is well known in the art.
